Running List of Airports that Should Be Controlled (But Appear as Uncontrolled)

Folks - please read the following before you add airports to this list:

This list is only for stock sim airports (no add-ons paid or free) and not Navigraph data. Some airports that have Towers (i.e., controlled) in real life are supposedly appearing in the sim as uncontrolled (no tower or ground frequencies and service). We want those corrected.

  1. Be sure you’re only on stock NavData (NavBlue) - Navigraph users will have to report any defects to the NG forum.

  2. Make sure you’re NOT reporting an airport that’s based on a payware Add-on or a Freeware Mod. Uninstall those to determine if it’s still broken.

  3. Please include screenshots while you’re at the ramp of this airport showing that tower and/or ground is not available in the radio dialogue boxes.

Thanks - I’ll try to get this escalated up to Dev Team somehow.

Its fixed - It was Navigraph. Update Navigraph and delete the content.xml

Just as a reminder - this list is only for stock sim airports (no add-ons paid or free) and not Navigraph data.

Not only not controlled while trying to land, it also causing CTD when trying to spawn there even in “Safe Mode” and even with stock aircraft. Not sure what’s going on.

kROC Bug report applies to Xbox too (still)
